Meet the Bike2Kili Fleet

We believe a bike should be chosen according to the rider, the terrain and the type of experience.

Some rides call for a lightweight and responsive hardtail. Others demand the suspension and control of a full-suspension enduro bike. And for riders who want assistance on longer or hillier routes, an e-bike can make cycling more accessible.

Explore our current fleet below.

This is the bike for riders looking for more suspension, control and confidence when the terrain gets rough. Built for demanding terrain.

36V 350W Rear Hub Motor

The rear-mounted motor provides pedal assistance when you need an extra push, particularly on climbs and longer rides.

The removable battery makes charging and battery management more convenient during your cycling adventure.

The expected range varies according to terrain, rider weight, assistance level, riding style, weather and other conditions.

Seven gears allow you to adapt your pedalling to changing terrain while the motor provides additional assistance.

The coil-sprung suspension fork helps absorb bumps and uneven sections of the trail.

The 27.5″ × 2.10″ tyres provide a balance between stability, comfort and manoeuvrability on varied surfaces.

Reliable mechanical braking helps you maintain control across changing terrain.

Best suited to:

  • Riders who want electric assistance

  • Riders who want to reduce physical effort
  • Travelers who do not regularly cycle
  • Exploring the countryside around Moshi

Which Bike is Right For You?

There is no single “best bike.” The right choice depends on the type of ride you want.

Choose the SUNPEED Cheetah if you want:

  • A lightweight mountain bike
  • Traditional cycling without electric assistance
  • A responsive hardtail
  • Trail and mixed-terrain riding
  • A bike that is efficient and relatively light

Choose the COMMENCAL META AM 29 if you want:

  • A serious full-suspension mountain bike
  • More suspension travel
  • Greater capability on rough terrain
  • An enduro-style riding experience
  • Stronger components for demanding trails

Choose the eBee eBX if you want:

  • Electric pedal assistance
  • Less physical effort
  • Help on hills and longer rides
  • To cover more distance comfortably
  • A more accessible cycling experience

If you are unsure, tell us about your route, cycling experience and what you want from the ride. We can help you choose.

Bikes for Different Cycling Experiences

Our bikes are used for more than simple bicycle rentals.

The type of bicycle you choose can depend on the experience you are planning.

Exploring Moshi

For exploring Moshi and the surrounding countryside, a hardtail or e-bike can be a practical choice depending on your preferred level of effort.

Cycling Around Kilimanjaro

Cycling in the Kilimanjaro area can involve different surfaces and gradients. Your choice of bike should take into account the route, distance, terrain and your experience.

Mountain Biking

If your focus is technical or more demanding mountain biking, the COMMENCAL META AM 29 provides a much more capable suspension platform than a conventional hardtail.

Longer Cycling Routes

For longer rides, comfort, fitness and terrain become particularly important. An e-bike can help riders manage the physical demands of distance, while experienced riders may prefer the efficiency and direct feel of a conventional mountain bike.

Guided Cycling Tours

The bikes in our fleet can also be part of your guided cycling experience with Bike 2 Kili.

When you book a cycling tour, tell us about your riding experience and requirements so we can help determine which bike is most appropriate for the planned route.

Bringing Your Own Bike to Tanzania?

How We Know The Good Bikes

Bike 2 Kili is a cycling-focused company based in Moshi.

Our work brings together bicycle rentals, guided cycling experiences and bicycle repair.

This practical connection with bikes matters.

We understand that a cyclist may care about things that are easy to overlook when a bicycle is treated simply as another piece of tour equipment, things such as gearing, suspension, tyres, braking, comfort and how the bike feels on different terrain.

Whether you are renting a bicycle for a day or joining a longer cycling experience, our aim is to match you with a bike that makes sense for the ride.
